... in the middle of the Chiemsee. I'm obsessed with Christmas markets. I can't get enough of them (and am even going to another one tonight). It had always been a wish of mine to visit the Chiemsee in winter time because I always go there in the summer time and swim in the lake.

We had negotiated a wintry walk on the western slopes for the wanderers and set off up the hillside surrounded by snow, conifers and stillness -wonderful stuff.
